What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo study the effects of a supplementation-based hypoglycemia guideline including donor (DM) on NICU admission, exclusive breastfeeding, and blood glucose concentrations in infants at-risk for neonatal hypoglycemia (NH). PROJECT
designWe integrated DM, feeding supplementation, and reduced frequency of blood glucose testing into an NH bundle for term and late-preterm newborns. We then examined NICU admission rates and rates of exclusive breastfeeding at discharge.
resultsNICU admission rates were reduced to 6% (-10%). Exclusive breastfeeding rates increased to 55% (+22%). Median cost of DM utilization was $13.73 per patient with an average volume of 50.8 ml/infant. DM supplementation resulted in similar times to last hypoglycemic episode and greater increases in blood glucose compared to expressed breast milk or breastfeeding alone (+9.6 mg/dL, p < 0.05).
conclusionsA supplementation-based hypoglycemia guideline including donor milk may be an effective way to reduce NICU admissions for asymptomatic hypoglycemia and support mothers in achieving breastfeeding goals.
